Requirements: We are seeking talented, enthusiastic, creative and extremely hardworking young researchers with a strong commitment and dedication to interdisciplinary and collaborative research.

Qualifications: The candidate should have a Ph.D degree in zoology or biochemistry or marine science or molecular biology or related subjects. Research experience in proteomics or biomaterial analysis is PREFEREABLE. Most importantly, the applicant should have proven track record, e.g. PUBLICATIONS and excellent reference letter from their thesis or research supervisor(s). We are particularly interested in individuals who have a strong research background, think deeply and creatively, have varied intellectual interests, works independently, and is passionate about their work.
